Mosquito Traps

All mosquito traps use attractants to lure female mosquitoes. Some traps contain impellor fans designed to capture specimens, while others utilize sticky surfaces or grids that electrocute mosquitoes. Most units require maintenance.

Traps that use propane as a heat source and carbon dioxide as attractant are intended for large populations. These traps simulate human exhalation, thus intercepting mosquitoes before they reach humans. Traps powered through electrical cords are less expensive and are designed for use in smaller areas.

Mosquito traps can be effective in lessening the population of mosquitoes. However, true mosquito population control is dependent upon breeding habitat and mosquito species, as well as many other factors. Should your infestation persist, contact your local pest control professional for further extermination options.
